Bugatti Chiron Les Légendes du Ciel – A Tribute to Aviation Legends
Bugatti consistently releases special editions of its elite models, captivating enthusiasts and collectors alike. The latest version of this esteemed brand is the Chiron Les Légendes du Ciel, which pays homage to the legendary French pilots of the 1920s and 1930s. This super exclusive model is designed to celebrate the pioneering spirit of France’s aviators.
A Tribute to Daredevils of the Sky
The essence of the Chiron Les Légendes du Ciel is rooted in honoring France’s daring pilots. During the time Ettore Bugatti was establishing his automotive legacy, air travel was on the brink of expansion. Those brave French fighter pilots—such as Adolphe Pégoud and Roland Garros—were testing the limits of aviation during World War I, paving the way for future aeronautical advancements.
Exclusive Features of the Chiron Les Légendes du Ciel
Only 20 units of this sky-inspired Chiron will be produced, establishing its rarity and exclusivity. This model is based on the Chiron Sport and features:
- Exterior Design: A matte grey finish with a gloss white stripe, styled to resemble aircraft in formation.
- Color Accents: The air ducts are adorned with the colors of the French flag—blue, white, and red.
- Inscription: “Les Légendes du Ciel” is proudly displayed on the front fenders alongside a propeller logo.
- Sky View Roof: Glass sections in the roof provide an aeronautical ambiance.
Unique Interior Treatments
Inside, the Chiron Les Légendes du Ciel is equally remarkable, featuring aeronautical-inspired designs on the door panels, headrests, and door sills. This interior aesthetic complements the vehicle’s exterior.
Performance and Pricing
The Chiron Sport maintains an impressive power output of 1,479 horsepower and 1,180 lb-ft of torque. Remarkably, it is also 40 pounds lighter than the base model, thanks to extensive use of carbon fiber. While the starting price for a Chiron Sport is around $3.67 million, the Les Légendes du Ciel edition is expected to command a higher price due to its limited production and bespoke craftsmanship.
